Gay news site slams "misinformed" Games Radar article

Why does it matter. Its a fact that people that aren't homosexual can get aids too.

Wow dude, either you are really that ignorant or you are just grasping at straws. Nowhere in my post did I indicate that raping people was OK (in fact I said the contrary), and to compare homosexuals to real criminals is just insane.

$#@! is, as previously mentioned by Spicy, is doing harm to another human being. As is also the case with molestation.

We shouldn't treat criminals well, but we do. They are given more rights than the victim due to this countries pathetic justice system.

Yes, in blood tranfusion. But it happens very few times lately, and it's in a poor and ugly hospital. Did you see this problem in 00's?
And to SpicyTempura, answer what I said, post the list.

Wow, you just don't get it do you? You need to take health class again as HIV aids can be transmitted through any contact of bodily fluids. Here is a quick read through as you clearly don't understand what you are talking about, http://www.sfaf.org/aids101/transmission.html

I'm not going to touch the std debate because I never really payed attention to the disease that much. But still why does it matter. If you have aids you have aids. Straights and homosexuals have it.

I guess it doesn't matter either way.

I never had sex with a prostitute. Again, few people got AIDS in this way.

The point is most of the people with AIDS are homo/bisexuals

[Yobumtin]

I guess in that case you're right. It has infected homosexuals more then other groups. But its mostly gay men who get this. They could be better educated to reduce the number of infections. Men have to learn a lot more about their sex life if they're homosexual. This might be confusing if they recently found out that they aren't straight and they just started experimenting. Of course this isn't always true. There's a lot of careful knowledgeable people that have sex with the same gender.

[ShoShoKid]

JKKdark, here is the deal. Straight people are just as vulnerable to HIV as homosexuals. HIV is blood borne, and any activity that exposed your blood to the secretions of another person will increase your risk, such as IV drug use and sex. Maybe the reason it seems the majority of people with HIV are men is because unprotected anal sex is a huge risk due to the abrasions that are caused.

[RibStabsHeart]

The reason why AIDS has affected gay men more than other groups is due to the obvious fact about condoms. Why do 90% of people wear condoms? So that they don't have chidren. Another interesting thing that you may have learned in sex class (aside from the fact that AIDS is spread through blood and bodily fluids such as vaginal secretions and semen) is that anal sex does not yield children! Since gay men do not have the obvious need for a condom as much as straight men do, more of them have unprotected sex with casual partners than straight men do. This leads to a gay man's higher chance of contracting AIDS than a straight man, just due to the fact that they don't absolutely NEED a condom as much as straight men do.

As for straight men that have died from AIDS, the death is absolutely irrelevent. Anyone who has constracted it is sufficient, so lets start a list of that.
(Note that AIDS is not a reason for death: it simply knocks the white blood cells out of commission so that minor things such as the common cold can kill you due to a lack of white cells to fight off the virii. So people do not DIE from aids, they die from its effects on their immune system).

I know for sure that rapper Eazy-E died from complications from AIDS. And likewise, Magic Johnson contracted AIDS , but has been able to keep it controlled and almost cured due to his immense wealth and ability to afford drugs.

Thats two off the top of my head, lets continue on with this list.

Also, please note that the media tried to portray AIDS as a "gay disease" for quite some time, so many straight people that had it and died from it may have been said to have been killed from the flu, rather than AIDS (in order to not have the stigma of dying from a incorrectly named "gay virus"). Just something to think about.

I read this recently. It's relevant to this thread so I'll post it here:


Ten Reasons Gay Marriage Is (And Should Remain) Illegal

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, prosthetics, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the Internet, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
